The paperwork that decides the outcome.
Ontario landlord–tenant law rewards precision. A notice with the wrong date or amount can send you back to the start of a months-long process. We make sure every form, notice and filing is right the first time.
Everything in ltb & compliance.
Where landlords usually go wrong
Most lost Landlord and Tenant Board cases aren't lost on the merits. They're lost on paperwork: an N4 that includes amounts that aren't rent, a termination date that's a day short, a notice served the wrong way, or a rent increase issued without the full 90 days' written notice. We draft and serve notices with those details checked.
Rent increases, properly
For most rental units in Ontario, rent can be increased once every 12 months, with at least 90 days' written notice, by no more than the annual provincial guideline — 2.1% for 2026. Units first occupied for residential purposes after November 15, 2018 are generally exempt from the guideline (though notice rules still apply). We track every tenancy's anniversary and eligibility so increases are never missed — or issued incorrectly.
When it has to go to the Board
If a tenancy needs to end — for arrears, persistent late payment, damage, or your own use — we prepare the application with a complete evidence file and guide you through mediation or hearing. Where legal representation is needed, we work alongside licensed paralegals and lawyers.
We are not lawyers or paralegals and don't give legal advice. For contested matters, we coordinate with licensed legal professionals.
How much can I raise the rent in 2026?
For most units covered by rent control, the 2026 guideline is 2.1%, with at least 90 days' written notice and no more than once every 12 months. Units first occupied after November 15, 2018 are generally exempt from the guideline.
Is the Ontario Standard Lease mandatory?
Yes, for most private residential tenancies in Ontario. We prepare it with clear additional terms for things like utilities, parking and tenant insurance.
Do you represent owners at the LTB?
We prepare files and support you through the process, and coordinate with licensed paralegals or lawyers when representation is required.
